I close my eyes...

Long awaited darkness fallsCasting shadows on the wallsIn the twilight hour I am aloneSitting near the fireplace, dying embers warm my faceIn this peaceful solitudeAll the outside world subduedEverything comes back to me againIn the gloomLike an angel passing through my room

Half awake and half in dreamsSeeing long forgotten scenesSo the present runs into the pastNow and then become entwined, playing games within my mindLike the embers as they dieLove was one prolonged good-byeAnd it all comes back to me tonightIn the gloomLike an angel passing through my room
